The mage trapped by a magical shield has been my best friend for nearly a decade. But he doesnt know his destiny is to kill my family. Or that hes my mate.

Baldr

I met Mist the day he arrived in Fenris. Its hard to ignore magic like his when I thought I was the only mage in town. We became fast friends and it wasnt long before I realized he was my mate. But hes being held captive by the enemy, and tortured so that he can be used as a weapon against me and my family. I want to be with him, to tell him I love him. But Ive seen the future and my visions are never wrong. Mist will be the one that gets me killed.

Mist

Ive been trapped in this magical bubble for almost a decade. Stolen from a home I can barely remember and tortured by a crazy werewolf to do his dirty work, Im all alone in this world. Except for my best friend, Baldr, who makes it all tolerable. Being a witch too, he understands me on a level nobody else can. But recently Ive been realizing how much I care for him. In fact, I think I love him. Im not sure if its because I dont know anything else or because hes actually the guy for me. All I know is that I dont want to ruin our friendship. If he leaves, Ill be all alone again. However, Im a danger to him. I still cant control my magic and its only a matter of time before it consumes me. When that happens, I want him as far away as possible.

Ive helped other rogue werewolves find a new home for years, saving those who had been cast aside like me. I always wondered when it would be my turn to find happiness.

Then I got TWICE as much as I bargained for when two Alphas walked into my hotel.

Sam

I was happy to see everyone around me find their fated mates. My books were enough romance to keep me distracted.

Until they walked in.

Two Alpha wolves came into the hotel together, recently ousted by their own pack. I can tell they’re a mated pair, so why do they keep staring at me like that?

My pulse quickens every time they’re near and for some reason, both of them like to get close to me, whispering sweet nothings in my ear from either side.

I always imagined finding that person just for me. But two of them? And Alphas to boot? How does that even begin to work?

Not only that, but their affections are getting in the way of my work. They’re scaring away customers and friends alike, trying to keep me to themselves. As much as I’d love to fall into bed with them and forget my responsibilities, I’m the backbone of this town.

My wolves… my family comes first. I just don’t know if these Alphas can learn to accept that or if they need to find somewhere else to stay.

He's my sworn enemy. And my hearts desire.

Loki

I left my pack and my brothers to get revenge on the werewolf that murdered my father. My plan was to kill his son, drawing his fury. Then I could get the job done once and for all.

But when fang meets fang during our fight, the earth opens up and swallows us both. Now I'm stuck in a never ending cave system with the son of my most hated enemy. And the worst part? I'm certain he's my mate.

If I cross this line, there's no coming back. But if I don't, how will I live with myself?

I was supposed to be living alone my last year of college, not rooming with the idiot werewolf captain of the football team. I despise him. So why can't I stop kissing him?

Mark

Getting a full-ride to an elite paranormal college is no easy task. And keeping my grades high is a requirement if I want to maintain that scholarship. That means I don't have time for parties, boys, or drama.

It also means I always get a room to myself so I can focus on my magical studies. So when I move in senior year to find a werewolf stinking up my room, things get a little tense. Not only is there no way to get rid of him, but he's an idiot to boot.

However, when the full moon rises and he kisses me, my whole world is turned upside down.

Dustin

Werewolves don't go to elite schools. We just aren't academic types usually. So when I get in on a football scholarship, I have to work double time to keep my grades up and perform well on the field.

Senior year, I'm made captain of the team, and that comes with perks, like a room all to myself. Except when I arrive, it's not empty. Instead, there's a sassy male witch glaring at me every chance he gets.

It's clear we hate one another, but there's something I'm not telling him.

He's my mate. He just doesn't know it yet.

Discovering I'm not as straight as I thought shook my world to its foundations. But seeing my mistake walk into my office a month later and ask for a job was the last thing I expected.

Wyatt

I've been way too busy to have a life outside of work, which means I've been pretty hard up. That's why, when the hotel puts me and a stranger in a room with one bed by mistake, I end up doing something stupid.The moment our bare skin meets, I know he's my mate, and I can't stop myself.

But he's a man, a human, and that makes him completely off-limits. That's why I had to leave without a word. Werewolves and humans don't mix. I can never see him again. So imagine my surprise when he shows up at my office a month later.

Tanner

It was just supposed to be a business conference, not a one-night stand with a stranger. But now I have to work with him, and I can't turn down this job. I want to hate him for sneaking out, but I can't. How can I resist those deep blue eyes, the ginger beard I love, and all those… muscles…

We shouldn't be doing this. He's straight, and I'm tired of having my heart broken. This isn't a hallmark movie, and it won't work. But I can't resist the strange bond between us as he turns my world upside down.

Maybe we can make it work.

TROPES: standalone, gay for you/ bi awakening, hurt/comfort, only one bed, human x werewolf, forbidden love, forced proximity, found family, strict roles, and hea.

Homeless and nursing a broken heart, I rejected my mate the first time he spoke to me. A hunky alpha werewolf in a cowboy hat is my fantasy come to life. But is it too late to reel him back in?

Matt

I was kicked out of my pack and my home after I told the alpha's son I loved him. He broke my heart and told everyone my secret. Now I'm a rogue wolf with nowhere to go. That is, until I hear rumors of a rogue wolf hotel in a small town up north. It's a place where wolves like me can go to get back on their feet, and I need all the help I can get.

However, the moment I arrive, some douchebag in a cowboy hat calls me his mate. I lay into him, calling him every name under the sun and telling him he was the last person I'd ever be with. When he stalks away with his tail between his legs, I'm sure I've seen the last of him.

But then I end up being forced to work on his farm to earn my keep.

Ace

I've been in the small town of Shifter Grove since I was seventeen, and despite a rocky start, it's been a peaceful life thus far. However, the day Matt rolls into town, that peace is shattered. The moment I see him, my heart begins to pound, and I blurt out “mate” before I can stop myself.

I'm not into men, but my new werewolf boss is growing on me in ways I can't deny. Can I come to terms with my attraction and win him back after I rejected him?

Josh

As a new rogue werewolf, Shifter Grove is my only option for sanctuary. The moment I step inside that small town, a complete stranger calls me his mate. I'm not into men or weirdos, so I send him packing. I need to get my life back together and get out of this nowhere town. So when the hotel owner gets me a job at a local bakery, I accept without question.

As soon as I open the bakery door, I see him, the wolf whom I rejected. He's the owner of the bakery and my new boss. I need the job, but I'm wary. However, as we start to bond over our love of food, a strange attraction begins to develop, leaving me utterly confused.

Andy

The moment I see him, I know he's my mate. Tall, handsome, and an Alpha to boot. I can't help the words that slip out of my mouth. It's no surprise he rejects me on the spot, and I know I'll never see him again.

But when that wolf turns out to be my new baker, I can hardly contain my excitement. The way he oozes passion when he talks about cooking has me hooked. Josh is everything I want in a mate. The only problem is he's straight. But I can't seem to give up on him, even though I know it's hopeless.

When an unexpected flame ignites between me and a rogue wolf, things get hot and heavy fast. It's my last summer of freedom before I take over the pack back home, and he's the perfect guy, but he can't come home with me.

River

I coast into town on fumes with nothing but my surfboard and the clothes on my back. A free-spirited Alpha wolf isn't the norm, but my father gave me one last summer to goof off before I take over the pack, and Shifter Grove is my last stop. However, I didn't expect to literally collide with Vincent going over my first wave.

The moment I set eyes on all that tanned skin and his infectious smile, I'm hooked. He's sweet and hot, just the way I like my summer flings, and we're in bed before I know anything about him. But I never expected to be spilling my secrets to him. Before I know it, he's making me feel things I've never felt before, and my time in Shifter Grove is quickly coming to an end. My father has arranged a mate for me back home, and both of them are expecting me.

Vincent

A dip in the lake nearly turns into a hospital trip as River literally runs me over with his surfboard. But somehow, I find myself unbothered by this charming Alpha wolf. He's got a wonderful laugh, and the way he looks at me makes my skin tingle with excitement. It's almost too easy to fall into bed with him.

He's a hot redhead in distress and I'm a Viking Alpha werewolf with a pack in turmoil. Even though our romance is forbidden and he's a man, no wolf can resist the call of his fated mate.

Thor

I've always trusted the visions of my brother and when he told me to run, I didn't hesitate. The Skoll pack, led by the ruthless Alpha who killed our father, is out for blood. But when I shifted and took off into the woods, I never expected to find an injured human with red hair and a pair of green eyes that could seduce me with a glance.

Against my better judgment, I secretly took him back to the hot springs my pack operates. There I made the biggest mistake of my life by kissing him in a moment of weakness. And now I'm not sure I can ever let him go. But I'm still keeping secrets from him.

However, when the Skoll leader sets his sights on my new mate, I fear I might lose him forever.

Flynn

I moved to Fenris to take care of my grandmother and to get away from the uncertainty of the city. But the mountain she lives on holds its own dangers. When I accidentally end up off the path after dark, the last thing I expected was to take a bad step and break my leg. Then, when a hulking wolf with glowing yellow eyes finds me in the dark, I'm not sure I'll survive the night.

The next morning I wake up in a resort, cared for by a hulking man who speaks little but cares for me day and night. I'm impatient to get home to my grandmother, but he won't let me leave until I'm healed. When I try to run away, he rescues me again and kisses me, forging a bond between us that I can't resist.

But, the closer I try to get, the more he pulls away. He's hiding something and I'm going to find out what it is.

He's the man that tried to kill me. But now he's back and this time he wants my love.

Cory

I ran away from home when the son of the pack Alpha tried to have me killed. After one night in one another's arms I find myself chased halfway across the state and nearly murdered in the process. But I made it to Shifter Grove alive and I built a new life for myself. And I'm content to never think of it again.

But when I find a half-dead wolf on the side of the road I can't help but take him in. Although I didn't recognize him at first, I quickly realized he's the son of the Alpha. And he still thinks I'm his mate. The rejection was easy and I sent him away.

So why won't my heart listen to me? Why do I want this man so badly when I know I can never trust him?

Liam

I never tried to have Cory killed. I know he doesn't believe me, but that's the truth. When I told my father that I'd found my mate and he was male, all hell broke loose. After that moment, Cory was out of my life seemingly forever.

But I got away. It took me two years, but I did it. When I finally wandered into Shifter Grove at last, I was nearly starved to death. And who should find me but Cory. He doesn't recognize me at first but the truth always finds a way of working its way to the surface.

How do I convince the man of my dreams that I would never hurt him when he won't even talk to me?
